This deep purple Agapanthus Blackjack is the flower of the year at Chelsea Flower Show. It was developed by de Wet plant breeders in South Africa. Congratulations!
I can see why the name Blackjack was chosen. It's the most extraordinary colour.

It's lovely to have this snippet of good news from South Africa among the stories of the difficulties the country is facing with the ongoing extensive power cuts.
